Sonamarg, Jan 13: Thousands of people braved freezing temperatures to gather at Sonamarg for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s public address, marking the inauguration of the much-anticipated Sonamarg Tunnel project. Since early morning, hundreds of SRTC buses and private vehicles ferried attendees to the venue in sub-zero temperatures.
The event’s location, from the Gagangir area up to Sonamarg, was adorned with massive hoardings, colourful banners, and posters to welcome the Prime Minister.
As PM Modi arrived at the venue for a public gathering, the attendees gave a warm welcome to him.
This was the PM’s first visit since an elected government came to power in Jammu and Kashmir in October last year.
